HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21-April 19): Sharing your wealth could seem logical. Even so, don’t try to throw your weight around where it isn’t wanted. Although you might be proud of your finances, perhaps there are other things that need improving. Have a realistic expectation for what your donation accomplishes.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Establishing a relationship with a less powerful person might appeal to you at this time. Relating as equals is harder because it requires vulnerability. Although a discrepancy in status may be an unavoidable part of a current situation, be aware of the potential risks.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Going above and beyond your responsibilities could be enticing right now. Even so, your motivations are possibly more complex than you want to admit. Be realistic about the role of peer pressure in your decision. Hard work may not fix whatever is going on there.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Having fun with friends may be a high priority today, but there’s a danger of things getting out of hand. Just a little spark can start a big fire. You could be perceived as challenging the group’s established power dynamics even if that’s not what you intend. Be sensitive to the impact you’re making.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Nurturing people could actually be a way for you to dominate them now. Your beliefs about what’s necessary to be loved might be leading you down the wrong road. Remember that doing for others things that they can do for themselves isn’t a good way to build lasting harmony.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You could seem impressionable in today’s conversations. Sharing your own views should make for a more balanced discussion with the other person. If that’s not what you actually want, just admit it to yourself — it’s okay to sit back and enjoy the wild ride on offer.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Benefiting from someone else’s generosity is possible. Still, you might be reluctant to accept the gift if you’re worried it could harm your relationship with them. You’re right — your connection is most likely to be fair when on an even playing field, but at least hear them out.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may currently feel like you need to work hard to prove yourself to others. You might see all the ways you fall short. The main rival you’re measuring yourself against isn’t automatically representative of where you should be though. That individual has a unique personal situation — and you do too.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The idea of powering through your most recent ambitious to-do list could excite you. Standing up for yourself isn’t always easy — especially when you’re also the unrelenting taskmaster. Make an effort to notice when you’re getting too tired to continue delivering quality results.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Present social activities could give you an opportunity to shine. This easy flow of positive attention can potentially compensate for what you’re not getting at home, but it might also bring up uncomfortable feelings. Do your best to let sorrow and joy coexist.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Getting noticed is possible for you at any moment. Whether or not it’s for something you’re proud of, you may be better off receiving the attention as quietly as you can. You know what really happened, so you might have to be satisfied with your inner confidence.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Your emotional attachment to your beliefs is likely strong. This can motivate you to advocate for them with pride. Contrastingly, you might be embarrassed if a listener starts prying into whether you put your money where your mouth is. Welcome the opportunity to get back on track.
